Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG), a provider of highly integrated

upper end of the $215 - $235 million outlook range given on 31 October
2012. Full year revenue is expected to end at approximately $774
million, representing 47% growth over 2011.

Dialog expects an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $34 million
in Q4 2012. At the end of the year ended 31 December 2012 the company
expects a cash and cash equivalent balance of $313 million.

full and audited results for the year ended 31 December 2012 on
